Guest Bio

Jin Wicked is a 41 year-old, agender/non-binary visual and performance artist, illustrator, podcaster, and writer on the autism spectrum who works with the guiding philosophy that, "Life is art." Jin is most well-known for introspective blogging, multiple slice-of-life webcomic series, meticulous ink illustrations, and their "Happy Happy Rat" mascots. Jin Wicked's autobiographical work explores the complexity of identity and self-image, and fearlessly bridges the gap between colourful humour and difficult subject matter such as anxiety, depression, love, mental illness, and neurodiversity.

In addition to comics, Jin produces studio art, skit comedy and creative videos, podcasts and readings, photography, essays, poetry, beaded jewelry, floral design, other crafts, and one-of-a-kind desserts. A Texas native, Jin Wicked moved to the Saint Paul, Minnesota, area in 2015. Original artwork, books, T-shirts, and other merchandise are available to purchase online directly from the artist.
